The service was superb. The workman had a little trouble running the wire from the circuit breaker box in the basement to the garage. But, once done, everything went well. I have other electrical work to do and won't hesitate to contact them again.
Description of Work: Fixed a garage light switch. Put an outlight in the ceiling for a light. Put in an outlet for an electrical cord on the inside of the garage wall. Made the outlet in the ceiling suitable for an electric garage door opener. Had to run a wire from the circuit breaker box in the basement to the garage.

Rick showed up at the agreed upon time and date with a smile on his face and all his material needs in tow. He worked diligently for 6-7 hours and the panel upgrade was complete. We were very happy with the detail shown to the installation (e.g. breakers were labeled; wires were well organized; messes were cleaned). It was not until a couple weeks later that we discovered that the weather cap was taking in water. Water was trickling into sheath from riser at the weather cap and flowing down to the electrical panel. We called Joe immediately and he had Rick onsite addressing the problem within an hour. Because of inclement weather conditions he could only do a short term fix. The following week Rick returned and changed out our weather cap and placed our riser in conduit. So far so good on the permanent fix! Even though we experienced some issues, the response from Joe and his Team was above and beyond our expectations. We truly appreciated their efforts and their impeccable work product.
Description of Work: We had out 100A panel upgraded to a 200A panel.

Decided to replace electric cooktop with gas. Had plumbing work done. When installers came for cooktop, they pointed out that I need an outlet for 120 not 240. Was very pleased with the quickness of response from Gioffre Electric.
Description of Work: Visit to change a 240 outlet to a 120 outlet as we went from an electric cooktop to a gas cooktop. While he was here I asked to have an additional outlet put in the bathroom. Both jobs were performed quickly and professionally. I was very pleased with the service.

We used him once and he was fine. He did fine and what he was expected to do. I don’t think I have any negatives. I don’t know about the price because I didn’t check it with anybody else. I probably would use him again in the future.
Description of Work: We used Joe Gioffre Electric Co. probably in October of 2010. We just had him generally check our wiring and he redid our out box; he brought it up to code.

Description of Work: We had issues with a wall outlet and our dishwasher smoking. Our technician, replaced the wall outlet and wired it correctly, and examined the breaker box as well. He also disconnected our dishwasher from electrical service, at our request, as a precaution. the control panel and electricals in the dishwasher are seriously damaged. The dishwasher will be needing replaced. But the technician eased our minds of an electrical fire, but disconnecting the dishwasher.

Rick came over on Tuesday and worked on it for 3-4 hours and still couldn't get them working. He came back the next day with his boss, Joe, and they worked on them for a little over an hour together and got everything working again. They were both very polite and professional throughout the entire experience. I thought the price was very reasonable considering how many hours were actually spent on working on the issue. My husband and I will definitely be calling Joe and Rick in the near future. Thank you guys very much!
Description of Work: Most of the lights and outlets on the main floor of my condo were not working along with the outside lights and garage. They had to take a part all the electrical outlets and the electrical box and try and figure out if one of the breakers were shot or if there was a short in the wiring.

Did estimate on a Friday afternoon, and scheduled work for following Tuesday. Estimated 2-hours of work, and completed in less than time planned. Very courteous; called in advance of arrival; professional work done to code; cleaned up work area afterwards. Re-arranged breakers on an older panel that was "full", to make room for new 50 Amp circuit; ran romex through joists, and thru frame sill into attached garage, installed conduit on wall, and box with special outlet. Quick, no-nonsense worker who was very helpful, on-time, and clean (wore slippers over work shoes inside house). I'd definitely recommend this small business again.
Description of Work: Added circuit for electric car charging station/welder in garage; re-wired breakers in panel to make space for new 50 Amp circuit.

Couldn't have asked for a better experience.
Description of Work: Had major water coming into the breaker panel in the basement. Previously I had calked and sealed everything I could find to prevent it from happening again. I called Joe that evening at 8PM thinking I was going to get an answering machine. Joe answered and was glad to talk to me, setting up an appt. for the very next day! Chris was right on time at 9:30, calling at 8:30 to tell me he was on his way. He knew exactly what the problem was. There was no drip loop in the line coming into the house. He put a drip loop on, put putty around the conduit where the lines come into the top, sealed up the inside of the electric meter and cleaned up the breaker panel. I needed an additional breaker put in to service a light switch and outlet and he was glad to take the time to do the additional work. He spent no time getting it done and was done in a professional manner. Clean up was excellent as well. I would hire these guys again in a heartbeat.

I needed a new outside plug and wanted to have a ceiling fan installed. When the ceiling could not accommodate the fan box and I could not have the fan, they took off the some of the time the could have charged me for, which I thought that was nice since they were not responsible for the issue. I would use them again.

Was able to schedule an appointment for a day and time that worked for me without difficulty. The serviceman, Rick, arrived right on time. He was very personable. Unfortunately, he was unable to perform/fix any of the 4 projects/problems. Essentially, I paid $80 for nothing. I'll have to hire another electrician to complete the work. Very disappointed.
Description of Work: 1) Light switch installed in my breezeway. 2) Change a light fixture in the basement from a screw in type to one with a pull chain. 3) Figure out why a GFI outlet wasn't working. 4) Figure out why an outside outlet wasn't working.

Response from Joe Gioffre Electric Co
Unfortunately we were not able to perform all the tasks the member wanted performed. The house is built on a slab and the switching she wanted installed wasn"t possible. She was however informed that finding the problem to the non operating items might take a while to find the problem and she declined saying she had recently had another electrician install then. We did suggest that the installer of the work might be the best to trouble shoot the problem. We make every effort to please our customers, however, there are conditions I will not ask my employees to endure .

I obtained multiple estimates from several companies on Angies List but chose Joe Gioffre because they were willing to wire the fans with new switches to operate the light and fan separately. Most other companies would only use an existing switch in the base estimate. Rick showed up on time, wired and installed three ceilng fans in three bedrooms within a few hours at a reasonable price. The Angies list discount also helped. He was prompt, polite, and professional throughout the entire process. I will use this company for future electrical projects and would recommend them to friends and family.

Went very well. When installers came on the 29th to install new gas cook-top, I was informed there should be a 120 outlet. In less than 24 hours, the job was completed.
Description of Work: I called for an appointment on 6/29/11 and got it for 6/30/11. Rick Heitz called ahead and was here promptly. Added an electrical outlet to the bathroom and changed a 240 outlet to a 120 so that a gas cook-top could be installed to replace an electric cook-top. Total time one hour. Very pleased with the service.

Approximately 2 weeks ago my AC suddenly cut out and my digital thermostat went blank. Several days later I noticed that the thermostat was visible again. The AC technician was coming later that day and could not find anything amiss; however, just before he left the problem manifested itself. He determined that it was an electrical problem - the voltage to the furnace was cutting out. I called Joe Gioffre on Friday and he had an electrician over on Monday afternoon. After some searching he checked the breaker box and found a loose wire for the furnace. He repaired it; checked the outside connections and the AC is now working.

Rick, the electrician, called at 10:00 AM to give an expected arrival time of 11:30 AM. He was 10 minutes early. We went through the list of tasks and he got to work. He worked steadily and only asked for clarification once on a task item. Everything was completed in two and a half hours and he was on his way by 1:00 PM. Everything about the work was first rate and the price was very reasonable. It's been just over two weeks and no problems have occurred. The next time I need electrical work done, I'll definitely call Joe Gioffre Electric Co.
Description of Work: I had a list of tasks to be completed: Replace wiring in the attic that had charred insulation by heat from flush mounted ceiling fixtures. Installing a replacement attic vent fan. Installing three replacement flush mount ceiling fixtures. Installing three replacement bathroom light fixtures. Installing a replacement coach light fixture over the back deck area. Installing a replacement GFI outlet in the back deck area.
